Hi everyone,

I passed my test and was loving driving about in my wee car. After being diagnosed with diabetes I continued for a few weeks like normal, then boom, extreme pain in my feet and legs (possibly neuropathy) and then dense cataracts, which effectively took me off the road.

1 year later my cataracts have been removed and I want to drive again. However, every time it comes to it, I feel sick and end up not doing it. I think one reason for that is me being afraid of having a hypo. That and not being on the road for a year.

How do I get over my fears of hypos (and other drivers).

Maybe book a few driving lessons in a dual control car to get your confidence back - if you can afford it.
